Chapter 1204: Starving All the Way
Guo Dabao and Orchid, who left with a lot of silver tickets, are facing a dilemma at the moment, both silver tickets and silver are available, but they find that they have nowhere to buy rice and grain.
They plan to return to their hometown of Guojia Village.
When Guo Dabao proposed to take the orchid to the end of the world, the orchid was excited, but her body and bones had not yet been recuperated, so after they discussed, they planned to go back to Guojia Village first, wait for the body to recover, and then play around, and live the life of the fairy couple and wandering the world.
But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is the backbone.
After leaving the rich Yangzhou, on the way back to their hometown, they saw a lot of victims, all of them were hungry and thin, at first Orchid had the heart to be a good person, and gave them some food, but fortunately was stopped by Guo Dabao.
Guo Dabao has not had a hard life for a long time since he followed the lord, and when he saw the refugees for a while, his first reaction was not to pity them, but to think that if he hadn't met the lord back then, he and his brothers would have become one of the victims.
Guo Dabao is not a ruthless person, but he also knows that once he sends rice and grain out, he will be targeted.
Now he and his daughter-in-law, if the victims attack them, they will be afraid that it will be difficult to get out completely.
What's more, I still have my daughter-in-law with me, my daughter-in-law has just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is still weak, so she can't be hurt a little.
There is still a long way to go back to my hometown, and I must keep my own food.
Fortunately, he kept all the grain, otherwise there would have been no food a long time ago, and this side is a disaster area, and no one has opened a store to sell rice and grain.
Feeling hungry in her belly, Orchid closed her eyes and tried to hold back her hunger, not daring to say anything, for fear that if she said she was hungry, the man would take the risk to find food.
But even if she didn't say it, Guo Dabao could see that she was hungry.
"I'm trying to find a way to hunt some prey, there's a big mountain ahead, you just wait for me at the bottom of the mountain."
Hearing this, Orchid grabbed his sleeve tightly, "I'll go with you." ”
Guo Dabao frowned, "It's dangerous in the mountains." ”
Orchid said in a low voice, "I'm alone...... Afraid. ”
When going up the mountain alone, Guo Dabao was not sure that he would be able to hit the prey.
In the disaster area, let alone people, the animals on the mountain are also hungry and red-eyed.
Once hunting, there is a harvest, there will inevitably be blood, will attract more wild beasts, extremely dangerous, he must leave as quickly as possible, but if he takes his daughter-in-law, it will be difficult to leave the mountain quickly.
"Then let's think of a way, let's not go up the mountain first."
The two of them continued to walk forward, and now they looked very messy and dirty, no different from the victims.
First, dress up like this for self-preservation.
Second, there are no open restaurants near here, and there is no place to wash properly.
After walking for a while, seeing that it was about to get dark, the two still did not find anything to eat, and even the bark of trees in this area was plucked down and eaten, like locusts crossing the border, and no grass grows.
Just when Guo Dabao made up his mind to carry his daughter-in-law to the mountains to hunt, the two were surrounded by groups.
There were more than thirty men surrounding them, all of whom were so thin that they were out of shape, but the number was indeed much more than Guo Dabao and the others.
"Woman!" Several of the men had a wolf glint in their eyes.
It was not the greedy eyes of a man seeing a woman, but the bloodthirsty eyes of a hunter when he saw his prey.
They were so hungry, and there were no children here for a long time, and women were much thinner and more tender than rough men.
